Holiday shoppers spent less money over the Black Friday weekend than in 2015. Shoppers spent an average of $289.19 over the four-day weekend, including both online and offline purchases. The weekend was characterized by heavy markdowns and a shift toward e-commerce, meaning there were smaller crowds at the mall.
